Halogen - Baked

Halogen is the brainchild of 21-year old producer Adam Janota-Bzowski. After a hugely successful 2008, which saw his stock rise significantly after some stellar live performances at The Glade Festival, Big Chill and London’s Scala venue amongst others, Halogen offers his first full length for the growing Maternity imprint.

‘Baked’ follows hot on the heels of his first download only EP Recycled Broadcasts, which has received over 2500 downloads since its release in late 2008. Mixing warm, organic melodies with intricate glitched out electronics, found sounds and samples, Halogen has created a delicate and mature masterpiece which belies his tender years.

With a growing international fanbase, notably in the UK and across the pond in America, Halogen has also garnered much respect from fellow producers and musicians, such as Steve Hillage & Miquette Giraudy (System 7/Gong), Rena Jones (Native State/Interchill), Chris Coco (BBC Radio2) and Bob Humid (Serve & Destroy – Berlin).

Adam started his musical exploration as a guitarist and vocalist in several bands in the underground London post-rock scene, before moving to Brighton in 2006 to study Digital Music & Sound Art, where his previous affinity with live instruments and effects was juxtaposed onto a new passion for programming and electronics, creating the basis for his sound as Halogen.

2009 looks set to be a busy year for Halogen, along with his album, he has started work on a number of new projects and is also set to release an EP for the internet label and forum www.idmforums.com having already been featured on a number of their compilations.
